Raised crossings are the only truly effective thing to eradicate this sort of driving.

I love the way the Irish Times always features social housing in its social media posts.

How completely unethical does a rich man like Stormzy have to be to do an ad deal with McDonalds during a genocide from which they clearly did not distance themselves and, in fact, into which they insinuated themselves. More to the point, wtf is a rapper doing selling himself to a fast food firm?

It's a no-brainer though. No European political leaders should be making visits to the US.

OK you're not engaging with me....you're simply contradicting what I'm saying rather than creating your own argument. Good luck.

I would indeed be foolish to say that Donegal people weren't out in force to publicise the mica problem...but of course I didn't say that! The will of the people locally is overwhelming I agree, but that's not what "a lack of political will" means. That's really about our government's lack of will.

Yes, but your initial reply to me suggested that I didn't know what I was talking about. Now at least, you have the honesty to admit that in fact, it is you that doesn't know a lot on this subject of why things don't get done in Ireland. On the money question, let me help you..

You don't know me so you're in no position to either believe or disbelieve me. Ask yourself the question: is it a lack of money or a lack of political will that denies Co. Donegal a train service? Ask yourself the same question regarding the shambolic approach to resolving the mica/pyrite situation

We've loads of money. Money isn't a problem anymore in Ireland. Most things that don't get done in Ireland don't get done because of politics. Housing, health and public transport being absolutely perfect examples of this.

No need for this sort of thing in Ireland as we don't have anything much to see in terms of wildlife. No wolves, lynx or bears left here - thanks entirely to us.

The state should compulsorily buy off the large swathes of treeless deserts all along the western seabord; farmers can be handsomely compensated for this, which will contrast greatly to the small amounts of income they derive from sheep rearing. Then we populate the rewilded areas with wolves & lynx

Also what a lot of Cuba/US comparison tables omit is that whilst both societies are multi-racial, Cuba is largely integrated while the US is still quite segregated with a concomitant high degree of institutional and cultural racism.

He won't be doing that again. Or grabbing his crotch in front of women and girls.
At least not on TV.

Yes, but building a bus station right beside a train station might also break some kind of North American record or social norm!

"Hamas said in November 2023 that the boys and their mother had been killed in an Israeli airstrike, but their deaths were never confirmed by Israeli authorities."
We're going to have the truth admitted by Israel?

The reintroduction of wolves to Ireland is vital if we are going to re-wild our massive and numerous, treeless landscapes. We should immediately link in with Scotland if they can manage to initiate something of this nature there.

There was no debate about Varadkar's Irishness apart from an attempt at it by the tiny fascist fringe on social media. He's half-Irish and was born in Ireland and there is zero comparison in this sense with Sunak's status within both a minority ethnicity and religion in Britain.

The post says "the woods in the backyard" which presumably means where the woods and the backyard meet.

Of course, on the other hand you could also say that the government knows exactly what its core voters want it to do.

House price inflation affects those houses which are for sale only. Social houses - of which the government builds little - don't have price inflation because they are not for sale. If only FFG could accept what they and everyone else already know. 😕

It's pity no one can arrest Israeli leaders (and US politicians) who killed 50,000 Palestinians they said were Hamas terrorists.

A lack of accommodation built is causing a lack of accommodation to be built. Never expect what the political and media establishment will say next to excuse ineptitude. Monty Python's 'Never Expect The Spanish Inquisition' isn't as good as this one. 🙄

Just around castles apparently. It's a defensive measure of some sort to keep the natives out.

True. Fly over any other European country - Wales and Spain are good examples - and you don't see the sprinkling of one-off rural houses that we are coming down with here in Ireland. It's a system that isn't remotely sustainable from either a cost or environmental basis.
comment in response to

Your photo is typical of the so-called rural 'planning' we have in Ireland where no local authority anywhere seems to be willing to plan for a sustainable habitation model. Rural Ireland doesn't have a coherent, nuclear-development code with its obvious and inherent environmental and cost benefits.
comment in response to

Ireland is unique in having - on the one hand, hundreds of underpopulated villages and small towns with obvious signs of dereliction and neglect while on the other hand, over half a million one-off, rural dwellings, liberally sprinkled like white gravel all over the state. Truly absurd 'planning'!

In 1975, thousands of young Irishmen in Northern Ireland were interned without trial having been kidnapped off the streets by the RUC and British army since the introduction of internment in 1971. Yet it's the Herrema kidnapping that gets the headlines as usual.

Most people in NI don't refer to themselves as 'Northern Irish'. In the 2021 census, a total of less than 32% of people referred to themselves as NI. Of course, it is possible that the only people that you know from NI use that descriptor alone, but this presents you with a very false picture.
